Let sleeping dogs lie

A man looked down at his dog on the floor

and he wondered why

the dog was content to sleep on the floor

or wherever he would lie?

So the man got down on the floor to sleep

and found he was wide awake.

His back was sore and the rest of him

turned into one big ache.

The dog awoke and looked at the man,

then slept in the man's chair.

The man looked up at the dog and knew

that dog could sleep anywhere.
